Notes

  • many online trees list her parents as Family:Thomas Poindexter and Elizabeth Pledge (2), but this is unlikely as she is NOT listed in the parish register with the other children of these parents born between 1760 and 1771
  • proof is needed that she is the child of the current parents, Thomas Poindexter and Lucy Jones --cos1776 15:49, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
